H. Kipphardt et al., MASS-SPECTROMETRIC ANALYSIS OF CERAMICS AFTER DECOMPOSITION WITH ELEMENTAL FLUORINE, Mikrochimica acta, 125(1-4), 1997, pp. 101-105
The features of a combustion with elementary fluorine for the case of
compact SiC ceramics and model substances for boron containing ceramic
s (H3BO3 and Na2B4O7) were investigated with the aim of their decompos
ition and analysis. On-line detection of the gaseous decomposition pro
ducts by quadrupole mass spectrometry using electron impact ionisation
was studied. Limitations by blanks and transport interferences were i
nvestigated. Standard addition as well as the isotope dilution techniq
ue were used for calibration in the case of B, C and W at the trace an
d major component level.
